Cross (double) Makarov

This puzzle was designed by the famous Admiral Makarov, head of two around the world travel.

Materials and tools:
Square bar

Hacksaw or jigsaw

Square file

File flat

Prepare six identical square-section blocks from the board.


In order to make the puzzle more compact and more interesting, I recommend making it in the following sizes:

bar length 60-80 mm square section 20 mm * 20 mm

One of them remains without cutouts and cuttings (I).

The remaining three blocks will be the same; two cuts are made on each of them: one - with a width of two thicknesses of a bar and a depth of half the thickness: the other, on the adjacent surface (for which the bar is rotated 90 °), - with a width of the thickness of a bar and a depth of half the thickness (IV, V, VI).

Let's take two bars of type IV, V, VI, put them together as shown in the figure.

In the resulting "window" we insert a block of type III.

Next to the III block, you need to place a block of type II; turn it with the groove up and enter from the side into the open “window” a.

If we look at assembled figure formed by five blocks. Between the two blocks that we put together at the very beginning, a square “window” has been preserved c.

We introduce the remaining bar I (solid, without cutouts) into this “window”, then the whole structure will be firmly connected.

All the cross is assembled.

All the cross is assembled.

Thank you for your attention

Participants sit in a circle. The host invites them to choose one of four phrases: “cross-parallel”, “cross-cross”, “parallel-cross”, “parallel-parallel”. When passing an object, participants say one of the phrases. The host answers whether it is true or not, without explaining the reasons. The task of the participants is to guess what the matter is.

The secret of the game is as follows: the cross is the crossed legs of the participant, the parallel is not crossed legs. For example, the phrase "cross-parallel" means that a person with crossed legs passes a pen to a person with uncrossed legs, etc. etc.

Bunnies. (to develop attention)

The leader names a part of the body and shows it on himself. Gradually increases the pace and makes deceptive movements. (Noses, ponytails, ears, tops.)

Log, trail, bridge.

Participants stand in a circle and turn in one direction and begin to move in a circle.

If the leader pronounces the word "log", then all participants put their hands on the shoulders of the one walking in front. At the word "path", they squat down. At the word "bridge" - move your hands apart.

Pig game.

The driver is blindfolded, given a stick and put against the wall (so as not to fall). The rest of the players around him in a semicircle. The driver must randomly touch someone with a stick and say: “Piggy, grunt.” The one who was touched grunts three times without distorting the voice. The task of the driver is to concentrate and guess who grunted. The one he recognizes becomes the leader himself.

I won't answer myself.

The participants of the game stand in a circle, in the middle of it is the leader. He asks the players various questions, without observing the order. The one asked must remain silent; the neighbor on the right side is responsible for it. The one who answers the question himself or is late to answer for a neighbor leaves the game.

Verbal volleyball. (for junior teams)

You need a ball to play. Everyone stands in a circle. Throw the ball through the center of the circle. We call the word a noun. The one who catches the ball adds a suitable verb, for example: a cloud - floats, a fire - burns. Anyone who speaks nonsense is out of the game.

Seeker.

Prepare some small object: a thimble, a ring, a pen badge. All players except the host leave the room. The host puts the item in the most prominent place. Invite, in turn, the players and explain that you can only make one circle around the room. If he has found an object with his eyes, he sits down, if not, he leaves the room again.

Yourself as a neighbor.

Players stand in a circle with their arms outstretched. The leader is in the center. One hand of the players is motionless, and with the other they pass the coin in any direction in a circle, placing it on the palm of a neighbor. Everyone makes a hand movement at the same time, regardless of whether there is a coin there or not. At the same time, they say: "To themselves - to a neighbor." The host must guess who has the coin.

Three are active.

The room should be completely silent. Three players are blindfolded. Everyone must catch one of the partners, and run away from the other. The participants in the game listen to each other's steps, breathing and, when they see fit, call the player by name and ask: "Where are you?". The player who is asked must immediately answer: "I'm here!". The first one to catch the "opponent" is the winner. After that, three others start the game.

Half a word for you.

The participants of the game sit in a circle and throw the ball to each other. At the same time, the throwers say half of a word; the one who catches must name his other half, for example: steam locomotive, telephone phone. You need to answer quickly. For each mistake or delay, the participant is eliminated from the game. The condition can be complicated: the leader says half of the word to each child sitting in a circle, and everyone must continue the second half. Can't - penalty point. The host begins to say his half of the word, for example: "Tele ...". Children continue: telephone, telegram, telescope, cart, etc. It is better to play this game in the middle and younger units.

The exercises proposed below can be carried out as full-fledged lights. They should go well in the middle of the shift, when “fatigue” from impressions sets in, you want to go home, and the situation in the detachment may “heat up” by this time.

Knots of six bars.

I think I will not be mistaken if I say that the six-bar knot is the most famous wooden puzzle.

There is an opinion (and I fully share it!), that wooden knots were born in Japan, as an improvisation on the theme of traditional local building structures. Perhaps that is why the modern inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun are unsurpassed puzzlers. In the best sense of the word.

About twenty years ago, armed with a rented machine for children's art "Skillful Hands", which is still unique to this day, I made many variants of six-bar knots from oak and beech ...

Regardless of the complexity of the original components, in all versions of this puzzle there is one straight bar without cutouts, which is always inserted into the structure last and closes it into an inseparable whole.

The pages below from the already mentioned book by A.S. Pugachev show the variety of knots from six bars and provide comprehensive information for their independent production.

Among the options presented, there are very simple, but there are not so. Somehow it so happened that one of them (in Pugachev's book it appears at number 6) got its own name - "Admiral Makarov's Cross".

Knot of six bars - Puzzle "Admiral Makarov's Cross".

I won’t go into details why it’s called that - either because the glorious admiral, in the lulls between sea battles, loved to make it in the ship’s carpentry, or why else ... I’ll just say one thing - this option is really difficult, despite the fact that there are no "internal" notches so unloved by me in the details. It is painful to pick them out with a chisel!

The images below, created with Autodesk 3D Max 3D modeling software, show appearance details and solution (order and orientation in space) of the puzzle "Admiral Makarov's Cross"

In the computer graphics class at the Children's art school No. 2, among other things, miscellaneous, as teaching aids I also use puzzle layouts made "on hastily Styrofoam. For example, the details of a six-bar cross are great as "nature" for low-poly modeling.

And the simplest three-bar knot is useful for understanding the basics of key animation.

Among other things, in the same book by A.S. Pugachev there are drawings of other nodes, including twelve and even sixteen bars!

Knot of sixteen bars.

Despite the fact that there are a lot of details, it is quite easy to assemble this puzzle. As in the case of six-bar knots, a straight piece without cutouts is inserted last.

DeAgostini Magazine "Entertaining puzzles" №№ 7, 10, 17

In issue number 7 of the magazine "Entertaining puzzles" of the publishing house "DeAgostini", a rather curious, in my opinion, puzzle "Slanting knot" is presented.

It is based on a very simple knot of three elements, but at the expense of "beveling" new version became much more difficult and interesting. In any case, my students at art school sometimes twist and turn it, but they can't assemble it...

And by the way, when I was going to model it in the 3D Max program, I suffered a lot ...

The screenshot below from the magazine shows the assembly sequence of the "Oblique Knot"

Very similar in its inner essence to the "Knot of Sixteen Bars" presented on this page is the puzzle "Barrel-Puzzle" from issue 17 of the magazine "Entertaining Puzzles".

Yes, I would like to take this opportunity to note the high workmanship of almost all the puzzles I have purchased from the DeAgostini publishing house. In some cases, it was necessary, however, to pick up a file and even glue, but this is so ... expenses.

The process of assembling the puzzle "Barrel puzzle" is shown below.

I can’t help but say a few words about the very original “Cross Puzzle” from the same series of “Entertaining Puzzles” No. 10. It looks like a cross (or a knot) too, from two bars, but to disconnect them, you need not smart head, and strong arms. In the sense - you need to quickly spin, like a top, a puzzle on a flat surface, and it will figure it out!

The fact is that the cylindrical pins locking the assembly under the action of centrifugal force diverge to the sides and open the "lock". Simple but tasteful!

Puzzles, as you know, develop intelligence, thinking and attentiveness well, so they are recommended for children to solve. True, some of them are not easy to handle even for adults, who are also not averse to “twisting” funny details in their hands. In this article, we will look at how to make some DIY wooden puzzles that will be fun for both children and adults to play with.

General information

First of all, it should be said that making wooden puzzles with your own hands is no less exciting than solving. Moreover, there is nothing complicated in their manufacture, so everyone can cope with this task.

The only thing you need for this is a simple set of tools that every home master has:

  • Jigsaw (preferably electric jigsaw);
  • Chisels;
  • Electric drill ;
  • Files and files;
  • Sandpaper.

Advice!
To simplify the task and avoid mistakes in the manufacturing process of products, you first need to complete the drawings of wooden puzzles with your own hands.

As for the materials, the most often required are:

  • small boards;
  • Bars;
  • Plywood sheets;
  • Lacquer on wood.

Even if these materials were not at hand, they can be purchased at a hardware store. Their prices are usually low.

Manufacturing

There are a lot of options for wooden puzzles for children and adults. Next, we will consider the most popular and common ones, which are easy to do on your own.

To make this puzzle, you will need a rail, the width of which is three times the thickness, for example, if its thickness is 8 mm, then the width should be 24 mm.

The product is made as follows:

  • A rail of suitable parameters must be cut into three parts of the same length.
  • Next, in each plank, you need to cut a cutout corresponding to its cross section with a jigsaw. As a result, the strips should enter this hole with little effort. Therefore, it is better that the window be a little smaller, in which case it can be brought to the desired parameters using needle files.
  • In two planks on the side, you need to make a cut, the width of which should exactly equal their thickness. As a result, a T-shaped cut should be obtained in two parts.
  • At the end of the work, the parts must be sanded and varnished.

This completes the puzzle making process.

Now you need to assemble it by doing the following:

  • One of the parts with a T-shaped cutout must be inserted into the window, and it must be advanced so that the end of the side cutout is “flush” with the surface of the bar.
  • Next, you should take the third part and put it on top of the bar with a window until it stops.
  • After that, it is necessary to upset the first bar with a T-shaped cut to the stop.

As a result, the puzzle takes the form of a solid product.

crossroads

To complete this craft, you will need a 1 cm square bar.

The instruction for its manufacture is as follows:

  • From the rail you need to cut off three bars about 8-9 centimeters long.
  • In the middle of one of them, it is necessary to make a cutout 1 cm wide so that as a result a square jumper with sides of 0.5 cm is formed.
  • The second part should be done in exactly the same way, only the jumper should turn out not square, but round.
  • In the third bar, you need to cut a groove with a depth and width of 0.5 cm.
  • Then the same bar must be rotated 90 degrees, and another similar groove should be made on the adjacent surface.
  • Further, all parts should also be sanded and varnished.
